So Weird- No Stylus Contact Woofer Pumping with Hana ML and Elac PPA-2
@byang12 The pin 1 ground to tonearm is the only missing piece of the puzzle, however since the tonearm is already grounded to the phono preamp via the external ground wire, I felt that sending the tonearm ground down the left cable, the right cab... 
Hana ML teamed with Pro-Ject 1Xpression carbon classic and Rega Aria
I had the bronze at one point and I am using the ML now. Your  description of the bronze sound aligns with my experience. I switched out to a 2M Black and I really enjoyed it. It's a much smoother, bigger, more balanced presentation. If I hadn't ...

@holmz  The wiring rundown is here. Wiring for the tonearm to the preamp was as follows: Pin 1- no connection Pin 2- + positive Pin 3- - negative Shell ground- cable shield Why was it wired like that? I agree the typical connection is p...

@byang12  I’m confused, could you restate that?  
Yamaha GT2000 with Straight Arm - Audio Note Tonearm Wire Rewire.
@pindac The Audio Note wires are sold in .5 meter increments. They also have color coded coatings; red, green, blue, clear, as opposed to all silver. A uniform finish isn’t a dealbreaker but color coding certainly speeds things along during term...

Hey Theo- it’s been a while! How are you and how’s your deck?

@ejb14  When you were spinning by hand, was the turntable power on? No, when the power is on you have two choices, 33 or 45. Powered items were amp and pre amp. It’s kind of reproduced except mine needs a record or synthetic mat or both.

It pumps to the rpm of the platter. 33 at 33, 45 at 45, and slowly if I spin it by hand. Bear in mind, that isn't happening now because I'm in single end mode.

I mentioned that I would be re-wiring my tone arm this weekend and I have completed that. I'm going to start a separate thread about the why of the rewire and it's results. For the purposes of this thread, I'm enjoying the improved sound so much t...

@lewm you may be correct about the oscillating- not enough information right now. I’m re-wiring the tone this weekend with Audionote Silver and silver clips- I’ll have everything apart anyway so I might as well try again.

@jpaulfreeland74 Great question and the answer is yes, it’s both and in phase.

Just to be clear, I’m not changing anything else until I have time and another excuse to play with wires, which will probably be tomorrow. My primary reason for posting this was to see if anyone else had seen this and perhaps knew a solution. Goo...
